The decision to distort the battery. Insert, connect the USB to the phone (on the other end connected to a computer), press and hold keys + - food, and wait a few seconds, as soon as you see a red flashing light, unplug the data cable, you can start sewn.

Hello.

I have installed a class10 micro sdcard on my galaxy note.

I would like to know if the 16G is faster than my sdcard or my sdcard ?

Is it more interessting to put the apps and the cache on the internal memory or on the sdcard ???? (and can i use app2sd if external card is faster ?)

Also, in es explorer i can not find the directory of the external sdcard.

Do you know where it is ?

Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rossygnol:
The internal memory is always faster. The name of the folder is "external_sd".

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxyris:
Hello everyone,

I've tried to install CM9 on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000. However, I must have done something wrong in the process. I'm totally new to the whole custom ROM thing. I'll try to list the steps I performed to install CM9. I hope someone can point out where I went wrong.

Generally, I followed the instructions given in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363593 .

1) Installed "ROM Manager" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=de).

2) Rooted my phone according to the instructions in http://androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9000-android-234-xxjvr-firmware/3/ . This uses Odin 3 v1.7 and also installed CWM Recovery (v3.0.0.5) . I checked that my firmware exactly matches the one for which the description is for.

3) Performed a backup using CWM Recovery.

4) Performed wipe (data/factory reset AND cache).

5) Installed CM9 using CWM which I had downloaded from the links given in the thread given at the beginning and placed the four .zip files (CM9, Google apps, Google apps fix and Faceunlock) on my external SD card. I only realized afterwards that the instructions said to place them on the internal SD card.

6) Installed Google apps, Google apps fix and Faceunlock using CWM.

7) Selected reboot in CWM. However, the device didn't boot into Android. First I saw the CM logo screen, then the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" screen.

8) Read instructions again, realized that I forgort the wipe after installing Google apps. Performed the two wipes again, however the problem remained.

9) Read instructions again, realized that I was supposed to install the .zip files from the internal SD card. I assumed that was the step I went wrong. So I decided to restore to my stock ROM which I had backup'ed before. I used the restore option in CWM, selected my previous backup (located on external SD card) and performed the restore.

10) However, the phone still does not get pass the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" screen. When I boot into CWM, the following appears on my screen

The same apperas if I try to do a "restore" from CWM again.

My questions:

1) Where did I go wrong?

2) What must I do to be able to attempt to install CM9 again?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertSand:
To get back to stock you have to flash a 3 file stock rom with repartition in odin.

i think the best is to get back stock, if you tried to restore a backup. then flash semapore kernel.

Then boot in recovery, wipe. Flash build 12 and gapps then reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxyris:
Hi and thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I don't really understand most of your post :)

1) What is a "3 file stock rom"? I know what the stock ROM is, however, what is with the "3 file"?

2) Where can I get the proper stock ROM for my phone? Haven't I backup'ed my stock ROM when I did the backup in CWM?

3) What is repartition?

4) What is semapore kernel? Why do I need it? Where can I get it?

5) So according to you I did nothing wrong in my installation and it *could* work if I tried a second time?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertSand:
First take a look in ramads thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102881

1. Here you can read how to flash with odin and download the latest gingerbread stock rom

2 your backup will work, but you have to be on a stock rom first.

3. read how to flash with odin in the link.

4. Semapore kernel is a custom kernel, comes prerooted and stuff.

so after you are back stock you can flash this in odin, put it in pda and dont thick repartiton. No you are ready again. turn of phone, boot into recovery mode with 3 button combo, here you can restore your backup if you want. or wipe factory reset, wipe catche and dalvik catche flash build 12 and gapps from internal sd. reboot and enjoy ics :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 remember to download the correct kernel for your build.

5. hard to say, the best way to get correct cwm is to flash a kernel as semapore or cf root. maybe it was somthing with your cwm (recovery)

Edit: it take some time to boot the first time
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxyris:
Thanks again for your reply.

So I managed to flash the stock ROM. I chose the "XFJV7/XXJVQ/OXFJV1/Sbl (MultiCSC)" which is the newest one for Android 2.3.4. I didn't tick "repartition" and didn't select Pit (what is this?) in Odin.

Now considering the Semapore kernel: how do I know which one to download in the thread you posted? Can I just take the newest one? Will I have root once I've installed this kernel? I'm asking because in the FAQ (semaphore.gr/faq) it says it requires another app (Superuser) in order to have root?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertSand:
its not the newest. you should have thick repartition and 512 pit here. But if the phone boots up i think its ok. only kernel flash its important not to thick repartition.

its best to use this kernel http://download.chainfire.eu/124/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_UNK_JVQ-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxyris:
I tried flashing CM9 again with the Semapore kernel I had installed first. It seemed to work, however, after booting into CM9, a screen appeared that said something like "Device encryption failed" and I could not get into the OS. Any idea what that could have been?

I'll give it another try anyway, this time with repartitioning and PIT when flashing the stock ROM and with the other kernel you suggested.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Slightly off topic, but what's with this obsession about 3 file roms that's been going around for a long time? I have yet to see any evidence to support the belief that 3 files rom is someone better than single file rom.

@OP: Try flashing CM7 first. See if that works. Then flash CM9.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxyris:
So what's the difference between a 3 file ROM and a single file ROM?

I've tried again with PIT + repartition, the CF kernel and CM9. However, the whole thing ended in a bootlop (Samsung Galaxy S I9000 foloowed by CM screen).

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong...

I'll try CM7 next...

edit: Something else I noticed. When I connect my phone as mass storage, the internal SD card still contains a bunch of files/folders that belong to apps from my original installation. Shouldn't these be deleted when I did the data/factory reset?

edit2: According to the CM7 thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061946), "you're not able to flash any kernel or run any filesystem you want". So which kernel can I use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
Hi,

I'll get 3 weeks ago SGS in a bottloop after flashing CM9 build11 (teamhacksung's) from latest CM7.

I went mad four about few hours, afterthat I decided to reflash stock 2.3.6 (JVX_JV3_JVT.tar).

After flashing with Odin, I end-up with in DBDATA error after rebooting..

So I flashed dbdata.rfs.tar and I've got original 2.3.6 working.

So:

-I've rooted my device again (CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar)

-Installed ROM manager

-Rebooted into recovery

-Flashed ICS port latest builds + GApps + face unlock (and wiped ALL).

No my device is working with ICS,

hope this will help you guys on flashing ICS and don't waste time.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxyris:
Thanks. I've tried your approach, but I'm only getting the "encryption unsuccessful" screen after entering my PIN. It says something like the encryption was lost and can't be completed and that therefore, the data on the phone is not accessible.

In the "Known issues" list in the CM9 thread it says

But I'm not sure if they're referring to my particular problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
May be the only way is to wait devs to solve that issue.

I'm so sorry that my tips didn't work 4 u...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanmat:
One question, do you have your SD Card in your phone when you are going through the install process? If so, take that out before flashing anything. It has been the cause of problems for a lot of people coming to CM9.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxyris:
Hi, thanks for your replies.

I seem to have solved the issue. When the "device encryption unsuccessful" screen appeared, I booted to recovery using the power button (a menu will appear letting you choose between shut down, restart or recovery) and came into CWM. There, I wiped everything (i.e. factory, cache and dalvik or whatever its called) and rebooted. I could then start the OS without any further problems (until now).

I also noticed that now my internal SD card is actually "clean" again, i.e. it only contains the folders and files that are there when you get your phone new. This wasn't the case when I performed a wipe BEFORE flashing CM9.

I'm using the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar kernel you suggested, maybe that was the problem (I can't recall being able to boot into recovery the first time the "device encryption unsuccessful" screen appeared).

@ryanmat Yes, I did have my external SD card in the phone during the installation process, but thanks for your suggestions.

edit: I will report back if everything goes smooth for a few days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedo1987:
ok, let me understand...

now you got CWM working and you've got CM9 after wipe all with rooted kernel I suggest you? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxyris:
Exactly. Let me write down the individual steps I finally performed to get CM9 running.

1) Get Odin and PIT files -> http://www.multiupload.com/51MTA5K1H7

2) Boot phone to download mode

3) Start Odin on computer

4) Connect phone to computer (USB)

5) Flash stock ROM -> http://www.multiupload.com/PKVWPJJZMO (check repartition, put in the 512 PIT file and select the PDA, PHONE and CSC files from the stock ROM, then hit start)

6) Disconnect phone from computer

7) Restart Odin on computer

8) Boot phone to download mode

9) Connect phone to computer (USB)

10) Flash the CF kernel for root access -> http://www.filesonic.ch/file/2356034801 (don't check repartition, no PIT file, select the downloaded tar file as PDA, then hit start)

11) Boot the phone to the stock ROM. After the kernel was flashed, you should have CWM installed. Place the CM9 tar, as well as the gapps, gappsfix and faceunlock tars in your internal SD card. Start CWM and boot into recovery from there.

12) In CWM recovery, select install zip from SD card and select the CM9 ROM. After the installation, my phone automatically rebooted, booted CM9 and got into the "encryption unsuccessful" screen.

13) Hold the power button, select reboot and then select recovery to get back into CWM recovery.

14) Perform factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe (found under advanced).

15) Select reboot in CWM recovery, you should now be able to boot into CM9.

16) Reboot into CWM again and install gapps, gappsfix and faceunlock if desired.

I don't know if all of these steps are required or if they must be performed in this exact order. However, it worked for me (CM9 build 12).

***How to Root & Un-Root LG Esteem Optimus MS910 GingerBread 2.3.4 Metro PCS Easy***

DisClaimer: Not responsible for anything happening to your device upon flashing these files, your warranty is now voided.

The Exploit was released from UnRevoke & AlphaRev and Original XDA Thread. For many Android Devices that are mostly on Cellular carriers like Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon etc; But have not Rooted a Metro PCS device before until the opportunity presented itself.

I had asked ?'s and one them here at this LOCATION and reason for me to start this new thread.

The Guys at AndroidInvasion Send Credit's to UnRevoke & AlphaRev and used the Exploit to attain another easy root method called "One Click Root!"

I don't have too much experience with "Metro" Android Devices But willing to find out, the goal here, "Gain Root access and Tethering through 4G."

I first searched XDA and nothing on this model, asked questions and was told there is no forum for this model as of yet I will be honest and just say "It's Just Unpopular model?" So this lead me too post this thread since there is nothing on XDA, credits given above already.

1. Download Drivers and Install on your machine

2. I download the "windows" method since I am using XP(Supports 32 and 64Bit same file)

3. Extract and Run.bat file, done!

I'm wondering if the devs are aware of the accuracy issues with the GPS on GB. The accuracy reading is always 0 and it ruins the accuracy of apps that use GPS. For example, tracking with the Google Navigation isn't as accurate and it sometimes goes past intersections. In comparison, Froyo and CM7 roms have no issues with Navigation whatsoever.

I upgraded from a Captivate because the Atrix was free AND it had a working GPS. I really hope that devs could find a workaround for this issue because as much as I need a working GPS, I don't want to HAVE TO use CM7 for a fully functional GPS because I find landscape hdmi mirroring really useful.
